Nourishing Traditions
The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats

By Sally Fallon, with Mary Enig, Ph.D

A truly fantastic book – I really need two copies – one for my desk as I refer to it daily for sound and common-sense health information, and another in my kitchen. Meals out of this book cannot be beaten for delicious and healthy nourishment

A well-researched and thought-provoking guide to ‘real’ and traditional food sends out a startling message – Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital and essential factors in the diet. Necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and supply of optimum energy levels.

Sally Fallon dispels this and other myths of the current low-fat fad in a practical, entertaining guide. She brings a can-do diet that is both nutritious and delicious. Don’t be without this book if you want to bring nutrition into your home

Some topics include: health benefits of traditional fats and oils (including butter and coconut oil); the very real dangers of vegetarianism; problems with modern soy and foods derived from it; proper preparation of whole grain products and appropriate diets for babies and children

Omega-3 fish oil urged for heart patients

In May, 2007, BBC news reported the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) believes this is an effective way to cut the risk of further heart attacks. This ‘news’ has been common knowledge for some years in enlightened health circles and the market place is full of fish oil in various forms to tempt the public

What is interesting, though, is a comment in this 2007 article stating ‘research has found that one specific omega-3 supplement, ‘name’, cut the risk of sudden death by up to 45%. (Ed’s emphasis)

It went on to say that ‘name’ is currently the ‘only omega-3 supplement with a licence for post-heart attack treatment’. This may be so, but what it is also saying, is that a natural food, which is not patentable, has found its way into main stream medicine, and in order for it to be able to remain there, it has to be given a licence! Now how absurd is that?

And further, pharmaceutical grade omega-3 from fish oil, which has had heavy metals removed from it, will do your heart good, no matter what it is called. A licence is something added on later which will have no effect on your body at all
